The New Yacht Volunteer Gives Entir,
Satisfaction on a Trial Cruise.

The New Yacht Volunteer Gives Entire
Satisfaction Trial Cruise.
BosToN, Mass, July 22.-The Volun-
teer, Gen. Payne's new yacht that is to
compete for the honor of sailing with
the Scotch wonder, the Thistle, for the
American cup, made her trial cruise
last evening. She is decided
ly the handsomest vessel seen
in these waters. She behaved hand
somely, and the Marblehead seafaring
men who beheld the journey down ex-
pressed very decidedly the opinion that
the Volunteer was destined to excel the
Mayfower if not the Thistle Gen.
Payne, the owner, and Mr.. Burgess, the
designer, expressed themselves as being
greatly pleased with the new sloop.

Tell not thou me oflightl Each radiant dawn
That smiles all grac1ously our earth upon,
Her fair brows intertwined
With dew besprinkled buds and blossoms sweet
Comes not my waiting darkened sight to greet
For l, alas am blind.
Not mine the splendor of the great white noon,
" hose warm, swift pulses stir mine own full
soon.
And ali my senses bind
In worship for the glory 1 but feel.
., angel standing in the sun, unseal
These eyes so blind-so blind
The Sunset walks the fields Of upper air
A pale green sea-in purple mantle fair
With gold and ruby linen.
But what to me the gentle close of day,
All, some sure hand must lead-sO dark the
way
And l am blind-am blind

WILLIAMsTowN, KY, Jan. ,19.-News has

at Gum Lick Church, six miles east of this

shot by Robert Dance, one of party Of
toughs who were making general discharge
of musketry, so to speak, and who is terror
to the community. For quite number of
years the country surrounding Gum Lick has
been the scene of numerous tragedies. Last
night after church the people were startled
by continuous shooting, accompanied by
yells of "Come on, Cristn Crist, who is all
grit, went and made one arrest and started
off with the prisoner, when his brother,
Dance, interrupted, and Crist attempted to
arrest him also, when Dance drew his pistol,
with the words, ARREST hi! I'll shoot your
and attempted to fire in the officers breast,
when quite struggle ensued, with the above
result They were surrounded by the gang
who prevented any one from coming tc
Crist's assistance. A warrant was sworn
out Immediately for Dances arrest, but he
has not yet been found.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10.-The transcript in
the injunction proceedings Of Smith against
Robertson, was filed in the supreme court
this morning, and is now under argument
The house this morning. under Il resolution
offered by Mr.. Gardner, Republican, de-
cared that it would not recognize Senator
Smith as presiding officer of the joint con-
vention and after reciting the facts as to
Robertson's election added that he was the
only man the house would recognize as pos
sessing authority to preside over joint ses-
sion This action is interpreted to mean that
the Republicans will hold joint convention,
which will be presided over by Robertson,
and that if an attempt is made to enforce the
orders of the court, clash of authority will
ensue between the legislators and judicial
departments of the state government. The
two houses win vote separately for senator.

SAM JONES.
Characteristic Talk of the Great EvangeI-
ist Before Boston Audience.


Boston, Jan. ia religious movement
which has not had a parallel in popular in
terest here since the Moody revival has been
initiated in Boston by the opening discourses
of the Rev. Sam Jones, whose work has been
attended with noteworthy results in the
south and west AS his first appearance was
at the fremont Street Methodist Episcopal
church, that sdifice was thronged beyond prec-
edent at the forenoon service by those who
were drawn by the reputation of his unique
personality and remarkable methods. From
the pulpit steps to the outer door of the ves-
tibule every space was occupied The Peo-
ple's church in the evening was also densely
crowded.
One Of the most remarkable characteris-
tics Of the preaching was the constant oscil-
lating between humor and gravity. At one
moment Jones would lapse into his broadcast
elements of levity, and in the next would lift
his sentiment and language into the highest
religious expression. After succession of
these vibrations, the preacher, as if conscious
that he had left some one in doubt whether
to look finally to his serious or his humorous
side, assured them in terms of marked earn
estness that he was no mountebank or lester
travelling over the land to make people laugh,
but was one who loved the Lord with his
whole heart, and was anxious before all
things to save souls to Christ by every means
in his power
In the course of his morning sermon he
said II sometimes wonder why it is we fuss
and quarrel about our isms. wonder why
we men plead so much-and Boston has
suffered perchance on this point-for my
views and my doxy. believe this is the
stronghold of orthodoxy in America, and
we get more heterodoxy from Boston than
any point in America. Our preachers fire.
quently throw away much time on creed and
doctrine and views. Here is an Episcopal
preacher; the effort of his life Is to establish
apostolic succession, and he is showing his
people where they come from, and l have
thought thousand times how much wiser it
would be if the poor fellow would just show
them where they were going to. daughter
He is a good Presbyterian preacher; he is
ringing the changes on final perseverance
Sabbath after Sabbath, and perhaps more
than half of his crowd have never had any
thing to perserve on. Here is a Baptist
preacher, ringing the changes on water, and
perhaps large proportion Of his crowd 60
ing where they won't get drop to cool their
parched lips [laughter,] and there Is Meth
odist preacher ringing the changes on infant
baptism. Brethren, baptize all the infants,
and all the little infants In the town asleep
and half the grown people going to hell"
